Hi,
I have a very big XML::: say like
<testTag>
fieldvalue
</testTag>
i want to convert it to the bit stream - in such a way that in the hex result i only have "fieldValue" and no xml tags.
asbitstream - is converting my whole xml and when i see in hex to text convertor i see the xml tags too.
any helps? |

I've seen bigger XML documents.....

Then what you're trying to do is transform the document into a string of the tag contents. You'll need to write code to do that; I'd imagine the easiest way would be to itterate though the tags anonomously and extract the values. Others may imagine an easier / better method.
How do you plan to use this string when you've built it? Given you've not mentioned delimiting the fields in any way, or indicating how long the values are.

Yes, because it converts the message tree. What else is it going to do?

Like I said, potentially.
I don't see there's a way to do it with a single line of ESQL (though others might).
I also still don't see what use an undelimited string of concatenated values is. But the point is you do.

You could model it in a CWF format MRM - this may be sufficient depending on exactly what your end result should be. You can then transform it with one line of ESQL, or use an RCD node.

Does presuppose that the XML is a known format & this isn't a generic routine to "flatten" any number of XML documents.
Which isn't an unreasonable supposition.
It also presupposes that the OP isn't trying to flatten the document into a string for later processing in the flow.
Which isn't an unreasonable supposition.
I'm still wondering what use the output is.
